位於Nokomis​的優質玩樂餐廳

We have eaten at the Venice location dozens of times and enjoy the prompt service and good advice on choices of food and wine pairings by our excellent server, George (whom we did ask for seating in his section tonight) on the occasion of birthday of my sweetheart, Cyndi. There was a special wine offer that night, a 2014 Barolo, that I decided to take advantage of the close-out price. What a complex and delightful heavier wine paired with a pasta dish based on a mild white sauce, supporting the flavors of the earthy mushrooms and flavorful but mild sausage as main attractions. We split an arugula salad that was limited in the number of ingredients but the greens were very remarkably fresh and the dressing light, tangy, with a hint of citrus. This salad by itself would make for a great light mid-day meal. Cyndi was persuaded to wander from her normal salmon order tonight and try ravioli with a light white wine cheese sauce and pears. The suggested choice of a small-vineyard white wine from France was well-paired with the mild flavors of the dish. All-in-all, despite coming to Cassariano for many years, this particular combination of food and wines was the best we could remember enjoying in Florida and certainly represents preparation and service that deserves a "Bravo!" Maybe two "Bravos." Venice is lucky to have Cassariano, and everyone who calls Venice home is especially thankful this time of year that the restaurant was spared significant hurricane damage. Many thanks to George, Ivan, and the kitchen staff for the memorable birthday celebration and evening that you made for us. P. S. Make sure to order some of their limoncello to finish--

We went upstairs for dinner. We went on a Monday when they offer the prime rib special. Some at our table had the prime rib and said it was delicious. My husband had the ribeye and thought it was great! My family has gone there since the 1980s and we have never had a bad meal!

Great little French restaurant. The service was exceptional and the server had a great knowledge of the wines as well as the good. Steak was the best and very tender. The only bad thing is I couldn’t eat anymore. You owe it to yourself to try this place. I have traveled long distances for a good meal but the best is right here in Venice.

Food was excellent server was awesome. Love this restaurant one of our favorites when we’re in town.
